Anyone else hear that noise in porter square?

I find it challenging to facilitate, actively listen, ask follow-up questions, and simultaneously capture requirements, business rules, decisions, dependencies, and current/future-state processes.

How are you actually doing this in practice?

- What do you prep beforehand?
- What do you capture live vs. afterward?
- Do you use recordings, transcripts, AI, templates, or process maps?
- What mistakes have you learned from?
- Any tips/tricks that have made discovery easier?

I’m less interested in the textbook answer and more curious about what experienced PMs actually do day to day.

PMs — what tools/systems are you using to manage projects?

I’m curious what other PMs are using to manage the full project lifecycle — whether that’s one platform or a combination of tools.

I want visibility into what was requested, what was approved, ownership, current work, blockers, dependencies, and what’s coming next — plus roadmaps, workflows, documentation, UAT, status updates, dashboards, etc.

What does your PM tool stack look like, what type of work are you managing, and which tool serves as your source of truth? What works well—and what doesn’t?
